Something else...

My new hobby lately is sewing baby slings. It took me a couple of tries but I finally figured out how to make them. We love our baby sling that someone made us when we lived in Fairbanks and everybody always asks me where we got it because they see Eliza sleep in it through all 3 hours of church. This is a picture of the 4th successful one I've made, I've given all the others away. Making slings is a lot more apartment friendly than quilting so I will have to keep this hobby up for at least another year.
And here's a cute updated picture of the stinkers...

Update...

My wonderful husband finally had a day off of work last week and volunteered to babysit the kids while I went and saw the Harry Potter movie by myself. He is amazing, Ian refused to nap and Eliza refused to take the bottle but he was still smiling by the time I got home. I really enjoyed my alone time, something I never get when it's just me and the kids. It was kind of weird sitting by myself in the theater. I really enjoyed the movie and tried to forget every little detail they changed or left out so I could enjoy the movie more. Now I am anxiously awaiting the copy of the newest book Jan mailed us. Mike and I read the first 6 Harry Potter books out loud together so I feel a little guilty reading it by myself but I just don't think I can wait until fire season is over!

Happy Harry Potter Day

I don't know if any of you have noticed the Harry Potter Countdown that I have had on my Blog for the past year now. I am a big Harry Potter fan and today the countdown for the movie has finally finished! But with Mike gone firefighting down in the Oneida Narrows, I don't know when I will be able to see the movie. I have considered taking the kids to the drive-in but I am a little nervous to do that by myself. So someone will have to let me know how good it is while I anxiously wait for fire season to end!
